The guideline for brake test machines §29 StVZO Annex VIIId states that all brake test machines must comply with the new requirements by January 2020. Additionally a new standard for pedal force testing beginning in Jan 2023 will require add-on capability to the current brake test machines.

1.1. Description of Services: The selected vendor will provide, all personnel, tools, equipment, parts including pedal force testers and all other implied resources to install, provide maintenance including software updates for in-ground, above ground brake test machines and any variance of brake test machines purchased. The selected vendor provides a comprehensive warranty that will cover equipment for a minimum 2 years after installation, the warranty will include all parts, labor and travel to repair /calibrate machines if they become unserviceable.

1.2. The vendor will provide minimum of ten (10) hours of equipment usage training and user level maintenance at each location of installation.

1.3. Points of Contact (POC): The vendor will provide a point of contact with the company, fluent in English, to interface with the unit POC on anything relating to the installation and maintenance of machines. Minimum information are names, business hours, phone numbers email addresses and hours of operations.

1.4. General: The vendor will deliver a total forty four (44) brake test machines and associated parts and peripherals. Vendor provides all labor, and equipment for the installation and removal of machines. Vendor removes all debris from installation. Phase delivery is acceptable based on the priority of installation outlined in equipment spreadsheet with all deliveries and installations complete within 180 days of contract award.
